Aqualyx Fat Loss Treatments in Cardiff

AQUALYX™

An injectable fat loss treatment

A gel-based solution, derived from cholanic acid, which is produced by our bile duct to help us break down fats.

Approved by the FDS and EEA this advanced procedure will dramatically reduce fat deposits permanently.

Aqualyx is a non-surgical way of body-shaping. This gel-based solution is injected into areas of unwanted fat. The solution works by disrupting the surface of the fat cells, causing them to weaken and become permeable. The fat is then absorbed by the body and excreted. This method provides a permanent result assuming the person having the treatment doesn’t gain weight after the treatment.
